  Aotearoa New Zealand - The...

  Aotearoa New Zealand, located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, is a country with a rich and diverse history that stretches back over a thousand years. Its historical and cultural journey has been shaped by the convergence of Māori and European influences, which has made Aotearoa one of the most unique nations in the world. The story of Aotearoa is not just one of migration and colonization but also of resilience, adaptation, and the constant negotiation of identity, land, and culture. 
  The Māori people, the indigenous inhabitants of New Zealand, arrived from eastern Polynesia in several waves of migration around the 13th century. Over the centuries, they developed a sophisticated culture, which included a rich oral tradition, strong tribal structures, and deep spiritual and cultural ties to the land. The Māori worldview was shaped by the concept of whenua (land), whakapapa (genealogy), and wairua (spirit), and their connection to the environment played a fundamental role in shaping their social and cultural practices. 
  The arrival of Europeans, led by explorers such as Abel Tasman in 1642 and Captain James Cook in 1769, marked a turning point in New Zealand’s history. Initial encounters between Māori and Europeans were characterized by curiosity, exchange, and occasional conflict. However, as European settlement expanded throughout the 19th century, the effects on Māori society became profound. The introduction of new technologies, ideas, and diseases, coupled with land confiscation and colonization, reshaped the cultural landscape of the country. This period led to the displacement of Māori from their ancestral lands and the beginning of a long history of legal and political struggles to protect their rights and sovereignty.

  The Wisdom of the Ancients -...

  H.A. Drake

  This book is about four cornerstones of modern thought that were put in place by people living in the ancient Mediterranean world. It covers approximately 2,000 years in time (from ca. 1000 BCE to 1000 CE) and spatially moves from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in Mesopotamia (roughly, modern Iraq), through Greece and Rome, to the new Germanic states growing in what is now western Europe. 
   
   
   
  The four ideas, as author H. A. Drake proposes, are monotheism, the idea that there is only one god, not many; individual rights, the idea that there is a limit to what the state can order us to do; naturalized citizenship, the idea that the full rights and privileges of citizenship can be extended to people who have no birthright to them; and creation of a standard by which to judge the performance of states. It is easy, now, to take these ideas for granted. By discussing these ideas in their historical context with clarity and wit, The Wisdom of the Ancients reminds listeners how preposterous they were originally and how different our world would be if they had not taken hold.

  Architects of Terror: Paranoia...

  A TIMES HISTORY BOOK OF THE YEAR 
  From the preeminent historian of 20th century Spain Paul Preston, Architects of Terror is a new history of how paranoia, conspiracy and anti-Semitism was used to justify the military coup of 1936 and enabled the construction of a dictatorship built on violence and persecution. 
  It is the previously untold story of how antisemitic beliefs were weaponised to justify and propagate the Franco overthrow of liberal Spain. 
  The Spanish military coup of 1936 was launched to overturn the social and economic reforms of the democratic Second Republic, and its educational and cultural challenges to the established order. The consequent civil war was fought in the interests of the landowners, industrialists, bankers, clerics and army officers whose privileges were threatened. However, a central justification for a war that took the lives of around 500,000 Spaniards was that it was being fought to combat an alleged scheme for world domination by a non-existent ‘Jewish- Masonic-Bolshevik Conspiracy’. Despite the fact that Spain had only a tiny minority of Jews and Freemasons, Franco and his inner circle were ardent believers in this fabricated conspiracy and spread the notion that the survival of Catholic Spain, as well, of course, of the establishment ’ s economic interests, required the total annihilation of Jews and Freemasons. 
  Architects of Terror is the story of how fake news, mendacity, corruption and nostalgia for lost empire generated violence and hatred. The book presents vivid portraits of the key ideologues who propagated the myth of the Jewish-Masonic-Bolshevik Conspiracy and of the military figures who implemented the atrocities that it justified. Among the convictions shared by these individuals was their belief in the idea that Freemasonry was responsible for Spain ’ s loss of empire and in the factual veracity of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the notorious fiction about the global domination of the Jews. 
  This is a history that reverberates in our own political moment 
  In his latest work, Architects of Terror, Paul Preston presents a compelling narrative of the Spanish military coup of 1936, a historical event marred by paranoia, conspiracy, and anti-Semitism. The book, a must-read in the biography and historical genre, uncovers the role of fake news, corruption, and nostalgia in generating violence and hatred. 
  For fans of Antony Beevor (Arnhem), Giles Tremlett (The International Brigades), Adam Hochschild (American Midnight), Anne Applebaum (Red Famine), and Ernest Hemingway (Ernest Hemingway on Writing).

  Delivering Destruction -...

  Existing literature maintains that the U.S. Marine Corps' operational success in the Pacific War rested upon two dominant themes: committed theoretical preparation and courageous battlefield action. When Japanese forces attacked at Pearl Harbor in 1941, the Corps sent its brave and spirited infantrymen to advance across the enemy-held islands of the South and Central Pacific. Though this conventional narrative captures essential elements of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps' triumph, it fails to account for substantial interwar deficiencies in fire control and coordination, as well as the critical wartime development of those capabilities between 1942 and 1945. 
   
   
    
  Delivering Destruction is the first detailed study of American triphibious (land, sea, and air) firepower coordination in the Pacific War. In describing the Amphibious Corps' development of fire coordination teams and tactics in the Central Pacific, Hemler underlines the importance of wartime adaptation, battlefield coordination, and the primacy of the human element in naval combat. He reveals the untold story of American fire control and coordination teams in the Central Pacific. Despite advancing technology and expanding "domains" of warfare, combat remains a deeply interactive, human endeavor.
